Inhuman Warlock

"I mean, is there a time limit that's the most you can hold onto the power? And will the other person be able to use his powers even then?" Lucifer asked.

"I think I know who you're talking about, but it's different. I can't temporarily steal someone's powers. I can only clone them along with their looks," Eve explained.

"Can you clone just the abilities and not the looks?"

"I can't do that. Both come simultaneously," Eve explained. "Moreover, you are right. This is a temporary ability. I can't infinitely stay in the clone form."

"How long does the ability last? And can you use it again right after? What are the flaws in Adaptation?"

"Are you asking that so you can prepare contingencies if I ever go astray?" Eve inquired, smiling wryly.

"I don't think a day like that would ever come, so I don't mind telling you. I can only use Adaptation for a few hours at best. If I were to give a round figure, it's around six hours."

"Time can even be less if I use Adaptation on someone much stronger than me. Or it can be more if I use on someone much weaker."

"So less than a day. That's not half bad," Lucifer rubbed his chin, sighing.

"Yeah. As for other limitations of my ability, I'm not sure. I didn't test it much."

"I don't believe that. Your first ability makes you smart. That's no way you won't know your Limitations."

"It's the truth. I didn't really take an interest in this ability. I was more immersed in the groundwork in the field of science, as you can imagine. I don't have much interest in fighting skills and such," Eve replied, shaking his head.

"You can ask your friend if you doubt me."

"She is telling the truth," Veracity chimed in.

"Fine. I want you to test your ability more while I'm gone. I want answers when I'm back," Lucifer instructed Eve. "Any other abilities?"

Eve shook her head.

"So you have only one ability worthy of a fighter," Lucifer muttered. "Still, it's pretty powerful in itself."

"You can be a great asset in wars."

"I can't be." Eve straight shook her head. "I don't appreciate killing and fighting. I don't want to use my abilities for battle."

"See? That's where I start doubting your smartness ability." Lucifer rolled his eyes. "Whatever, I don't need you to fight."

"But still, you should understand that one day, you really might need to kill another person, and you might not have any other choice. It's always good to mentally prepare yourself when you're in danger. Don't ever hesitate."

Eve didn't reply. She just nodded her head for the sake of not arguing.

Lucifer stood up. "It's time I leave. Kellian will handle everything here. But if he's in danger, do help him out. He's slightly weaker, alright. You should be able to help here."

He started walking away.

"Are you really going alone?" Eve asked.

"Yeah," Lucifer replied without stopping, however just as he was about to push the door open, he stopped. "Before leaving, one last question."

"What you said on the roof last time when we were alone. Was everything true?" he asked.

Eve glanced back at Veracity, not answering directly.

After taking a deep breath, she nodded. "It was true."

"Veracity?" Lucifer asked.

"She is telling the truth," Veracity replied, unaware of what the two were talking about.

Lucifer didn't say anything. He just opened the door and left.

His face remained calm. If one was to see his face, they couldn't notice anything different, but there was something different for sure. It was unclear what it was, but his eyes seemed slightly different.

Lucifer didn't speak to anyone as he went straight to the left, which brought him to the roof, where a pilot was already waiting for him along with Kellian.

"The flight is ready at the airport. It'll take you straight to the Island. I've disabled the cameras at the airport as well, so no one will record you, but the Island is different. Cameras might record you there," Kellian explained.

"That's why you should take this with you." He gave Lucifer a bag.

"What's in the bag?"

"It's the next generation Battle Gear prepared by Kane. I brought it back when I came here, but you were in a coma, so I couldn't give you," Kellian explained.

"You can change your clothes, so even if you're recorded, no one can recognize you from your clothes. Moreover, there's a mask in it as well."

"You can use it to cover your face at times when needed. If you need any information on using them, you can contact Kane. He did tell me a few things, but he'd be better to teach you."

Lucifer nodded, taking the bag. He opened the door of the helicopter.

"I'm leaving. Everything is on you—best of luck. Also, stay careful. You're weaker now. Don't put your life in danger. And contact me whenever you need." After instructing the guy one last time, Lucifer stepped inside the helicopter and closed the door.

The rotors started moving, and the helicopter rose in the air, right before Kellian's eyes. It soon left, taking Lucifer away on his solo mission.

Even Lucifer knew that it was slightly risky to leave this place without his guidance, but he had faith in Kellian and all the preparation he did. Without his presence in this continent, it was much more convenient for his team.

Moreover, he knew that the Warlock Council remnants and Atlantis were dangerous, but they were nowhere close to Xaen and how risky the guy was.

He wouldn't have gone to the Island without taking care of matters here if Xaen hadn't stolen the stones. When it came to the stones, he couldn't take the risk.

As Lucifer sat in the helicopter, he opened the bag that was in his hand. On top of all the clothes, there was a stack of paper. He picked up the stack and started going through it.

"The death of Ramian Asade and others. Reason: Robbery Gone Wrong."

"So it was true. I did travel to the past. But there were no cameras there, so no one knew the killers. No witnesses came forward to the authorities," Lucifer muttered, frowning.

"That's interesting. One guard survived? If he did, he should've seen us. But he testified that he doesn't remember the culprits? How did Jian know it was us then?"

"Unless he made the guard lie because he didn't want the authorities to take action?"

"The case still remains unsolved, according to the reports.. One of the robbers was found dead on site, but he couldn't be traced to anyone."
